Hymn of the week

Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

This is my story...This is my song!!!

Isn't that amazing how those inspired hymns express the believer's stories, feelings, thoughts, and somehow are able to encourage us in our daily walk with the Lord?

Growing up I would listen and sing the hymns at the church service and in many occasions find it hard to understand those righteous, high- minded, pure and yet so accurate words singing sound gospel teachings concerning salvation, God's grace, assurance...Blessed be the Lord for those enriching hymns that have though me to expect the highest standard when things concerned are God's.
